Have you ever heard a song and got the wrong lyrics stuck in your head?  That happened to me with Micah Tyler’s song There’s Never Been a Moment.  I heard it as “there’s never been a donut” so, I asked him if he could perform the version of the song I hear in my head and this is how it came out! Hard to believe, but this was the first time we have had Micah… … Continue reading

Ironically he was… … Continue reading

He’s battled an intense chronic disease for years, and this visit will determine what the next chapter of that fight looks like.

3 Ways to Make Prayer a Habit

This is not going to make me look like a good person, but for the longest time, I was unsure of the verse in 1 Thessalonians that says, “Never stop praying.” Other versions translate it as “Pray without ceasing” or “Pray continually.” But regardless of the translation, all I could think was, “That sounds….like a lot of work.” Maybe it goes back to when I was a kid and took it way too literally. When… … Continue reading

3 Dating Rules That Apply to Facebook Market Place

This Prayer Will Change How You Start Your Day

I did it again. I turned my alarm off after snoozing it multiple times, only to end up scrolling through social media. I never feel better after I’ve scrolled for a few minutes, only worse. I want…no, I NEED to start my day differently this year. That’s when it hits me. A memory with Joni Eareckson Tada. If you don’t know who Joni is, you are missing out! She is one of the most incredible… … Continue reading

When You’re Facing a Tough Decision

I am the most indecisive person I know….at least, I think I am. Maybe I’m not. On top of that, I am a chronic people pleaser. Add those things together, and you can imagine the anxiety I accidentally carry around most days when it comes to making decisions.  This was obvious again recently when we had an illness outbreak in our office. My husband has a chronic illness and is immunocompromised, so we’ve had to… … Continue reading
